Xiao He was sent back to the house, and he also brought back a bunch of precious medicinal materials given by the emperor, two hundred taels of silver.

Mu Churan said that he wanted to shock her, and gave her a jade ruyi, and allowed her a five-day vacation, ordering her to rest well in the house.

This is a blessing in disguise, and there is no loss in this poison.

As soon as she returned to the house, she heard Hongzhu say that Xiaoshan had woken up. He finally woke up. In order to show weakness, Xiao He himself was carried into the mansion by others. As soon as the people in the palace left, she heard that Xiaoshan had woken up, so she hurriedly went to the west courtyard to see, and in an instant she was alive again, walking like flying.

Gou Zi, who has been standing in the courtyard cleaning, saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh that his master was really tall, and it was really condescending to not go to the pear orchard to sing.

Xiao He ran to the small mountain bed, and his expression was slightly relaxed, "How do you feel?" Does it still hurt in your body? ”

Xiaoshan was a little weak, but he forced a smile, "It's much better." ”

"How did you get into this Gu? Can you say it with the second brother? The second brother wants to find someone to solve the Gu for you. Xiao He held his hand and said seriously and sincerely.

Xiaoshan's eyes flashed, "...... Life and death have their own fate, don't worry about me. Worth. ”

Xiao He glared at him, "It's up to me whether it's worth it or not, what kind of enemy have you provoked, don't you dare to say it, are you afraid of affecting me?" Since the eldest brother recognizes you as a brother, then you are also my brother, and the brothers are still afraid of getting involved? Your parents gave you this life, you should live well in this world, no matter how wronged and difficult, they always hope that you can live well......"

"Not necessarily." Xiao Shan interrupted her with a gloomy expression.

"Nonsense! Even if they are not with you, no matter where you are, they will always be concerned about you. Even if no one in this world really wants you to be good, you still have us. Xiao He guessed that he was also a poor child, so he couldn't help but say a few more words to comfort him.

For a long time, Xiaoshan did not speak again, and turned his head to the wall.

Xiao He tucked the quilt for him, got up and prepared to go out, "Then you have a good rest, I don't have to enter the palace these days, just tell me if you need anything." ”

"Why did you save me?" He remained in that position, but when he asked the question, his voice still trembling a little.

"It's better to die than to live, only when a person lives can there be hope, and when he dies, he is happy, but there is nothing. It's that simple, don't you understand? Xiao He's tone was indifferent, and he answered his doubts before turning around and going out.

Xiao He guessed that he didn't want people to see his tears, so he didn't continue to accompany him.

There is a group of people, who have their teeth knocked out and swallowed blood, who can endure the pain and suffering of the outside world with perseverance, but they cannot bear the warm concern of others, and they are always at a loss when they encounter the kindness of others. They are so used to being lonely that they gradually forget how to get along with others.

Xiao He was also this kind of person, but she gradually regained the consciousness of flesh and blood and human beings, and if there was only hatred in her heart, she would eventually fall into the path of the devil from which she could never recover. She wants to live, live like a person, not just for revenge, so the genius let her meet the Dai family father and son and teach her to be kind.

The porridge was boiled in the kitchen, and Xiao He personally brought it to the small mountain house.

"When you had a Gu poison attack before, Dr. Xue confessed that he didn't dare to feed you, so he only poured a little ginseng soup. I haven't eaten for two days, so I must be hungry. Xiao He fed him spoonful by spoonful.

At first, Xiaoshan was a little awkward, but then he was really hungry and ate it in large gulps.

Xiao He saw him like this, but he also had a little vitality, and then smiled a little reassuringly.

As soon as you are idle, the days will pass quickly.

I heard that Xiao He was recuperating in the house, but many people came to visit her, and some came to give gifts. Accept all that is ripe or uncooked. Now that Xiao's mansion has a lot of expenses, for those who flatter and deliberately make friends, Xiao He also has a heart of vanity and grievances, and he will not refuse to come.

The gifts received, in addition to the medicinal materials, were handed over to the red beads for preparation, and the other jade antique calligraphy and paintings were selected and placed in the house, and the rest were all taken out and sold in batches and cashed out.

These are also decorations in the house, and the next time someone visits, I can give them a reference and give them a number of gifts to give.

Now who doesn't know that Xiao He is a celebrity in front of the emperor, although his official quality is not high, he is deeply trusted by the emperor. At this time, if you don't come to talk about it, you will be promoted, and when he is promoted, he will have a high rank, and I am afraid that he will not even have the opportunity to come to the door.

This kind of news has almost spread among those dignitaries and children of families who like to go astray.

is also thanks to Duan Heng always looking for opportunities to take Xiao He out with him before, and many people borrowed Duan Heng to thread the needle to please Xiao He. Originally, Duan Heng thought that Xiao He would refuse this kind of banquet, but he didn't expect him to agree to attend, and he seemed to be happy to do it.

Xiao He was interested in the gossip about the imperial capital when he was with this group of people, although the news was three points true and seven points exaggerated, but it was also a good way to collect the wind.

For example, Yin Zhan Lijie, the latest appointed Jingzhao Mansion, is the brother-in-law of Lin En, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the most promising candidate was Liao Yuanren, a fellow villager sponsored by Qi Zhengmin, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, but because Qi Zhengmin of Wanhualou died in a quarrel with the population, he was disqualified from being recommended, which is really painful.

They all made fun of Liao Yuanren for being taken off the black gauze hat by a woman, and the fat in his hand was bitten.

In this year's Wanhualou Oiran Competition, because he fell into a jealous quarrel and caused a life lawsuit, the silent Oiran won his name, but he was disgusted by others, and as soon as the emperor's new "Spring Ban Order" came out, the fireworks alley was half deserted in an instant. The Oiran didn't work for two days, and then he left the country from a good marriage.

The geisha who were elected as Oiran in previous years all gained fame and fortune, which is probably the most dismal Oiran in recent years, and it is not even as good as the ordinary top brand.

The murder case that Xiao He was concerned about was hastily closed, and the drunk man was taken into custody and beheaded after the autumn.

As soon as Qi Zhengmin died, there was one less servant in the ministry, and he had to fill it as soon as possible. It is said that the official department Shangshu also went to Jingzhao Mansion Yin once to personally interrogate the drunken man who committed the murder, and seemed to be suspicious, but in the end it was not resolved.

During the day, Xiao He followed those children of the family to eat, drink and have fun, and returned to the Xiao Mansion drunk at night.

No one knows, after she stepped into the Xiao Mansion, she was completely drunk, and she entered the house refreshed, and sorted out the information she had collected that day a little in case he needed it in the future. In addition to the in-law connection between the families, she is most concerned about the royal secrets, Mu Churan's unknown secret handles.

It's a pity that Duan Heng is strict and it's not easy to talk about it. Xiao He had no choice but to find other opportunities.

Returning to the court, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Xiao He. Some mocked, some sighed. Some pedantic civil officials who were originally optimistic about Xiao He sighed that Xiao He was black and was taught badly by the prince of King An. Duan Heng smiled bitterly, he only took him once or twice, at most it could only be regarded as a beginner, and the rest was all his own cultivation and comprehension. He was wronged.

After Xiao He returned to Jixian Hall to edit the history books, he heard that Mu Qingwan was still grounded in his palace, so he couldn't help but plead with Mu Churan. Although Mu Churan agreed to understand the princess's ban, there was not much expression on his face, and he seemed to be dissatisfied with Xiao He's actions outside, but he couldn't bear it.

Xiao He also wanted to see how long he could endure it, and to what extent the bottom line was.

When Xiao He was about to leave the imperial study, she heard Mu Churan call her, "Moyu, why don't you wear the jade wrench I gave you?" ”

Xiao He looked down, he did forget to wear it, Xu has been drinking a lot recently, although he has taken antidote medicine, he will inevitably vomit after returning home, only a few times, the person seems to have lost weight, and even the wrench will slide down.

It's just that there is no wrench on the finger, and occasionally there is a habitual action of turning the wrench, but you can only touch your own bone joints. It seems that people's habits are really easy to develop. Xu wanted to quit this problem, so she deliberately forgot to wear it.

"Back to Your Majesty, the wrench is a little loose, and the minister is worried that if it is accidentally damaged, it will damage His Majesty's mind, so he really doesn't dare to do it, so he will collect it and place it properly." She replied respectfully, so that Mu Churan could not find anything wrong.

But he saw Mu Churan walking over step by step, standing in front of him, reaching out and holding a jade pendant and tying it to Xiao He's belt. The jade pendant is engraved with a phoenix bird, the composition is simple but vivid and interesting, the jade is warm and delicate, such as fat and paste, the whole body is white, revealing a little verdant.

When Xiao He was surprised, he saw a jade pendant of the same size tied to his belt, but the pattern was a dragon, and the color was brighter. Xiao He frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, the minister wears this jade pendant, I'm afraid that something will be wrong." ”

As if she hadn't heard, Mu Churan lowered her head and helped her tie it herself, leaned low, and whispered in her ear: "If you give it to you, it's yours, if you don't want it, it's up to you to sell it and give it to others." This was originally a tribute to a pair of jade pendants, except for you, I don't want to wear this jade with others. ”

Xiao He raised his head and saw that there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, his brows were faintly frosty, but the corners of his mouth were stubbornly smiling, a little helpless, a little melancholy. She couldn't bear to refuse and accepted it silently.

Seeing that Xiao He finally refused, Mu Churan grinned, and his smile became a little thicker.

Today, Wuyiwei came to report Xiao He's movements outside the palace, he knew that she was deliberately wooing the courtiers and collecting intelligence, he knew what she wanted, but he couldn't bear to expose it. Wuyiwei visited Xiao's Mansion at night and was knocked back by the master, he was a little relieved.

In less than a year, she actually had the ability to build the Xiao Mansion like golden soup. She has the ability to protect herself, to make him happy, but it makes him feel a little heartache, her growth, her strength, all come from her hatred.

The person she hates is Mu Churan. He sighed inwardly.

He didn't know where he should put her, but he didn't have a defense.
